RAYS VOLK RACING G25 Forged Wheels

RAYS VOLK RACING G25 — Gran Turismo Forged Luxury

The RAYS VOLK RACING G25 occupies a unique position in the VOLK RACING catalogue: it is the brand's definitive statement for buyers who demand RAYS Engineering's forging precision applied to a premium luxury aesthetic. Where the TE37 and ZE40 speak the language of motorsport aggression, the G25 communicates in the vocabulary of gran turismo — the tradition of high-performance grand touring that pairs mechanical excellence with visual refinement. The G25's multi-spoke arrangement, sculpted surfaces, and available high-gloss finishes make it the natural choice for BMW 5-series, Mercedes-Benz E-class, Lexus GS, and Infiniti Q owners who refuse to compromise either quality or appearance.

Available Sizes

• Diameters: 13" | 14" | 15" | 16" | 17" | 18" | 19" | 20" | 21" | 22" | 23" | 24"
• Available Widths: 5J to 14.5J
• Typical Offsets: ET+30 through ET+52 for luxury and JDM platform fitments
• Bolt Patterns: 5×112, 5×114.3, 5×120, 5×130, 5×108 and others on request
• Center Bore: 73.1mm standard; hub-centric rings included for vehicles requiring larger bore

The G25 is one of RAYS' most frequently ordered wheels for European luxury platforms, reflecting its strong visual compatibility with BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the excellent availability of 5×112 and 5×120 bolt patterns through RAYS Japan.

Need a Different Size or Finish?

The G25 catalogue is extensive, but premium GT builds sometimes require non-standard offset configurations, wider barrels for aggressive yet graceful stances, or custom finishes to complement bespoke paint programmes. Our concierge team sources G25 special configurations directly from RAYS Japan, typically within 8–12 weeks for production orders. We also offer an AI Wheel Design Service if you want a custom spoke pattern or finish concept designed before committing to an order.

Vehicle Fitment Guide

The G25 was designed from inception with European and Japanese luxury performance platforms in mind. Its spoke geometry and available offset range accommodate the wider tracks and deeper-drop hub faces of grand touring vehicles:

• BMW 5-Series (G30/F10): 19×9J ET+42 | 5×120 — definitive G25 GT application
• BMW 7-Series (G11/G12): 20×10J ET+40 | 5×120
• Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W213): 19×9J ET+47 | 5×112
• Audi A6/A7 (4G/4K): 20×9.5J ET+40 | 5×112
• Lexus GS350/GS450h: 19×8.5J ET+42 | 5×114.3 — JDM luxury GT application

• Nissan GT-R R35 (touring-spec): 20×10J ET+30 | 5×114.3

European platform fitments often require hub-centric rings to bridge from the G25's 73.1mm centre bore to the larger bore dimensions of BMW and Mercedes vehicles. Rings are supplied with European-market orders. Contact [email protected] for specific fitment confirmation.

G25 Heritage: Gran Turismo as a Performance Philosophy

RAYS Engineering introduced the G25 designation as an explicit statement about the kind of driving experience the wheel was designed to support: gran turismo — the Italian term for grand touring that encompasses high-speed, long-distance, high-comfort driving at the level of performance expected from a BMW M5 or Lexus LC 500. The G designation within the VOLK RACING lineup has always denoted wheels where aesthetic sophistication is elevated alongside, rather than subordinated to, performance engineering. The 25 refers to the spoke offset parameter central to the G25's design — a 25mm spoke-face offset that creates a characteristic visual depth without the aggressive concavity of dedicated track wheels.

At launch, the G25 arrived at a moment when the market for forged luxury wheels on European premium cars was primarily served by BBS, OZ Racing, and aftermarket divisions of the car manufacturers themselves. RAYS' entry with the G25 brought VOLK RACING's manufacturing precision and weight discipline to a segment that had been associated more with craftsmanship than with engineering efficiency. BMW and Lexus enthusiasts who purchased the G25 found that a wheel weighing 7–8 kg in 19" diameter — roughly 1.5–2 kg lighter than BBS RG-F equivalents — transformed the GT feel of their vehicles through reduced unsprung mass and improved dynamic responsiveness without requiring track-focused aesthetics on a daily driver.

The G25 DBK (Dark Bronze Kinetic) limited edition, released in collaboration with certain RAYS Japan dealer programs, developed a collector following that continues in the second-hand market — a testament to the finish quality and the rarity perception that RAYS cultivates through selective limited-run production. The current production G25 maintains the core design and manufacturing process of the original while benefiting from incremental improvements to RAYS' surface treatment chemistry over subsequent production generations.

G25 Multi-Spoke Engineering

The G25's multi-spoke design is not merely a styling choice — it represents a specific structural engineering approach to wheel design that differs fundamentally from the five- and six-spoke layouts of RAYS' motorsport range. A higher spoke count distributes load across more individual structural members, allowing each spoke to be slimmer in cross-section. The visual result is a more intricate, jewel-like face that catches light from multiple angles; the structural result is a more compliant load path that absorbs minor road surface variations through distributed micro-deflection rather than transmitting them directly to the tyre sidewall.

For grand touring applications where ride quality on motorways and urban surfaces matters as much as outright stiffness, this compliance characteristic is desirable — it provides a subtle damping effect that complements the air spring or adaptive damper systems fitted to many luxury GT vehicles. RAYS' engineers calibrated the G25's spoke geometry specifically to optimise this balance, making it distinct in character from the TE37 family even when mounted on a car capable of occasional circuit use.

G25 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the G25 DBK (Dark Bronze Kinetic) finish special?
A: The DBK finish is a RAYS proprietary colourway combining a warm bronze base with kinetic metallic particles that shift appearance with viewing angle and lighting conditions. It was originally released as a limited-edition collaboration colour and has developed strong collector recognition. Current DBK availability varies — contact our team for status.

Q: Is the G25 appropriate for a BMW that also sees occasional track days?
A: The G25 is a forged monoblock wheel with full JWL-VIA certification and load ratings appropriate for BMW GT applications including occasional light track use. However, if regular and sustained circuit use is planned, the TE37SL or TE37 would be better aligned with the demands of consistent high-speed cornering forces. The G25 is optimised for GT road use with the flexibility for occasional track days.

Q: Are hub-centric rings included for BMW 5×120 fitments?
A: Hub-centric rings to bridge from the G25's 73.1mm centre bore to BMW's standard 72.6mm hub bore are included with all European-market orders. Please confirm your specific BMW model's hub bore requirement when ordering as some models vary.

Q: Can the G25 Prism Dark Silver finish be replicated if a spoke is damaged?
A: Prism Dark Silver is a RAYS catalogue finish that remains available through RAYS Japan's production programme. Exact colour matching for cosmetic repair is possible by ordering a replacement wheel in the same production batch period; note that minor batch-to-batch variation is inherent in metallic powder coat finishes. For single-wheel replacement, contact our team for current batch availability.

Wheel Care and Maintenance

The G25's premium alumite-base coating with high-gloss polyurethane clear requires care appropriate to a luxury finish:

• Wash with premium pH-neutral car shampoo and a dedicated soft wheel mitt — not the same cloth used on bodywork
• Apply iron fallout remover monthly — mandatory on high-brake-pad-dust vehicles such as BMW M models
• Polish lightly with a non-abrasive aluminium wheel polish to maintain the Prism finish's reflective qualities
• Ceramic coat all spoke faces and the barrel interior annually for maximum protection
• Avoid prolonged contact with tyre dressing products on spoke surfaces — silicone-based products attract brake contamination
• Torque to OEM vehicle manufacturer specification and verify after 100 km
